As 2023 drew to a close, we asked DCTA writers to think back on the shows that left an indelible impression on them. In this category, Outstanding Creative Components (Community), we recognize:

  • Designers (including set, sound, lighting, and costume)
  • Directors (including choreographers and music directors)

A round of applause to everyone who works hard to make our theater community a great place!
